[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1290337, member: 141969"] One possibility could be a problem with your TV signal. If the signal strength has become marginal, it might be varying between just receivable and not receivable. This could be caused by: [LIST] [*]Maintenance at the transmitter which is currently broadcasting at a much lower signal strength than normal. Action: look online to see if maintenance is scheduled for your transmitter. [*]Your aerial has become misaligned. Action: check visually the orientation of the aerial to see if it has changed. Is it pointing in the same direction as the aerials on neighbouring houses? [*]Corrosion/oxidation at the connections. Action: unplug and replug all co-axial cables and check connections which are screwed (this latter might be quite difficult if the aerial is on the roof). [*]An HDMI cable that is too near the aerial cable. Poorly-screened HDMI cables have a reputation for emitting RF radiation that can interfere with DVB-T MUXes at certain frequencies. Action: don't bundle HDMI cables with aerial cable. Move them apart, and if they have to cross, make them cross at a 90-degree angle. [/LIST] Do you have a TV fed by the same aerial as the HTPC? Does the TV show more pixelation than previously? TVs usually have tuners that are more sensitive than those in PCs, so absence of a problem with the TV does not exclude the possibility of a problem with the signal strength, but it is worth checking. To make further progress, you need to submit a TV Server log that was generated at the DEBUG level of detail (you set this in the "General" section in "TV Server Config". -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
